I'm 17 and I have terminal cancer. I've created a bucket list because there are so many things I still want to do in my life ... some are possible, some will remain a dream. My blog is to document this precious time with my family and friends, doing the things I want to do.
You only have one life ... live it!

Too busy to go

I've so much to get done that I've decided I'm just to busy to go anywhere yet. If my cancer could just listen to that it would be good LOL.
I always get too far behind on my blog and then I can't remember things, so I thought I'd write tonight cos I can't sleep and I'm going away for the weekend.
Jay has invited me down to watch my first ever football match and I don't know whether I'll get it or not, but I'm going to try to understand all the rules and bits.
Then we're going to meet someone special on Sunday and I think we're doing a Christmas Fair thing as well cos I want to get a load of things. I don't know what's there exactly but I know that I need to get loads lol.
After that, Dad has to get on a train to come back to work cos he loves work lol and me and Mum have been invited to go to the real Lush factory in Poole and see how it all gets made and even have a go. I am so excited because Lush is one of my favourite things in the world. When I go to hospital I always take some Lush things with me and all the nurses love the smell of my room. This was something on the bit of my bucket list that I never put up on here so I didn't think that I'd ever get to do it, so it's even more special. We're going to stay with our friends Jan and Paul cos we haven't seen them for ages either.
When I get back, mum is going to go and find a real Christmas tree and then we're going to decorate it.
Have a good weekend and I'll be smelling gorgeus next time I write.

Sweet Alice,You have such a beautiful spirit and generous heart. Thank you for using your precious energy to update your friends and fans around the world. Sending love and prayers from the U.S. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. May God hold you and yours in the palm of His hand. I know He is with you on this journey and on all of your adventures.

Alice.you're my idol. LOL just to let you know, I did purchase one of your wonderful mugs and it flew across the pond to me. having my coffee in it as we speak, to the displeasure of my three Westies who do not feel my cup should have a lab on it! Love to you and yours, and enjoy your weekend's adventures.xox from Hope in NJ, USA

That's fantastic - I've been to the Lush Factory and really enjoyed myself, they're all lovely people and you get to see a lot of behind the scenes stuff too. I hope you have a wonderful time and a great weekend - I read your blog every time you update it and you are such an inspiration.

Alice, you are just so... there are no words. It is so amazing that you take all this in your stride and just keep on inspiring people. I hope they do give you another bash of the radiation therapy; I know you have completed a lot of your bucket list, but that's no reason to stop - just a reason to think up even more things to do.

What a match yesterday, I think your support definitely made a difference to the team! Pity that the result didn't work out but QPR can hold their heads high they did great. Enjoy the Lush factory.. And hugs to Millie and Mabel!

Hi Alice!,I know you don't have the slightless idea of who I am, but anyway I felt like posting a comment in your blog and it goes a little like this:I can't believe I keep complaining about my life, while yours it's so much harder to live, I wish I could be more like you!.I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you! Hope you had a great weekend!xx

Hello Alice, all the way from Michigan, United States. I have been reading your blog for about a month now, and I don't know if you get a chance to read all your comments but I had to tell you this. I believe you are one of the most courageous young women I've had the interest to read about. Keep posting, and I'll keep reading. Your in my prayers!-Jess.P.S.- What is Lush?

I know how much you love Lush but did you know you can make your own bath bombs realllly easily? Just get one cup of citric acid, one cup of bicarbonate or soda, half a cup of olive oil and half a cup of corn flour and mix them all together in a bowl with some aromatherapy oil of your choice and some dried flowers too if you want, then dry them overnight. It's so much fun and you can buy the ingredients easily online. Hope you try it out sometime!

Lucky you!! I love Lush!! I have gotten some things from one of there shops, and they have definitely got some amazing stuff! I especially like how environmentally friendly they are, and how their bags and packaging are biodegradable! :) :)

About Me

Hi, I'm 17 years old and live with my parents and sister in Ulverston.
I've been fighting cancer for over 5 years and now I know that the cancer is gaining on me and it doesn't look like I'm going to win this one :(
I'm hoping to write in here as much as I can and I'm also going to show my bucket list which I'm trying to get done before I have to go. Hopefully, I'll update as I tick each one off the list :)
